4. A statistician working for the National Basketball Association supplies the television announcers with interesting statistics. At a certain point in the season, he discovered that in 375 games, 300 were won by the team that was winning the game at the end of the third quarter. The margin of error in a 90% confidence interval estimate of the true proportion of games won by the team leading at the end of the third quarter with the plus-4 adjustment applied is (Show work): (5)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 0.038

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total games : n= 375

Number of games won by  the team that was winning the game at the end of the third quarter. = 300

The proportion (p) of the team that was winning the game at the end of the third quarter: [tex]p=\dfrac{300}{375}=0.8[/tex]

Critical z-value for 90% confidence: z* = 1.645

Margin of error =[tex]z^*\sqrt{\dfrac{(1-p)p}{n}}[/tex]

The margin of error in a 90% confidence interval estimate of p [tex]=1.645\sqrt{\dfrac{0.2\times0.8}{300}}\\= 1.645\times\sqrt{0.00053333}\\\\=1.645\times0.0231\\\\=0.0379995\approx$$0.038[/tex]

Hence, the required margin of error = 0.038

Question 8
A log with diameter 60 cm is 3 m in length its hollow centre is 20 cm in diameter.

Find the surface area of the log in cm', including the ends and the inside, correct to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer:

The surface area of the log including the ends and the inside is 80424.8 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the surface area of the log with hollow center including the ends and the inside, we will find the surface area of the outer part of the log, surface area of the inner part of the log and the surface area of the two ends; and then sum everything up.

From the question,

Diameter of log = 60 cm

Length of log = 3 m = 300 cm

Diameter of hollow center = 20 cm

For the surface area of the outer part,

Area of the outer part = Circumference of the outer part × length

Circumference = 2πr = πd

∴ Area of the outer part = πd × l

(NOTE: d here is the diameter of the log)

d = 60 cm and l = 300 cm

Area of the outer part = 60π × 300 = 18000π cm²

For the surface area of the inner part,

Area of the inner part = Circumference of the inner part × length = πd × l

(NOTE: d here is the diameter of the hollow center)

d = 20 cm and l = 300 cm

Area of the inner part = 20π × 300 = 6000π cm²

For the surface area of one end

This is the difference between the area of the outer end and the area of the inner end

Here, we can determine the area by using

Area = πr², where r is the radius

Radius = Diameter / 2

Radius of outer end (R) = Diameter of log / 2 = 60cm / 2 = 30cm

Radius of inner end (r) = Diameter of hollow center / 2 = 20cm / 2 = 10 cm

∴ Surface area of one end = πR² - πr² = π(R²-r²)

= π (30²-10²)

= π (900 - 100)

= 800π cm²

This is the area of one end

For the two ends,

Area of the two ends = 2 × 800π cm² = 1600π cm²

Hence, the surface area of the log is 18000π cm² + 6000π cm² + 1600π cm²

Surface area of the log = 25600π cm²

Putting the value of π (π = 3.141592654)

Surface area of the log = 25600 × 3.141592654 cm²

Surface area of the log = 80424.77193 cm²

Surface area of the log = 80424.8 cm²

Hence, the surface area of the log including the ends and the inside is 80424.8 cm² (to one decimal place)

Predict the next three numbers in the pattern.

3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34,

Answers

Answer:

The next three terms are 55,89 and 144

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to predict the next three numbers in the pattern

3, 5, 8 , 13 , 21 , 34

The difference between two successive terms is written between them.

Thus, we have

3 2 5 3 8 5 13 8 21 13 34

So the rule here is to add the next term to the previous so as to get the next coming term

Thus, we have;

34 + 21 = 55

55 + 34 = 89

89 + 55 = 144

Looking around in your own country, discuss two practical applications in which “piecewise functions” are used either explicitly or implicitly

Answers

Answer:

Piecewise functions are functions that behave differently in different regions of the domain.

One example that you may see in your city is the case of the street illumination, such that can be modeled as:

x = time

Suppose that the lights are turned on at a given hour x0 and then turn off at the hour x1, we can define:

f(x) = 0 if x1 < x < x0

f(x) = 1 if x0 ≤ x ≤ x1

Where f(x) represents the intensity of the light at the time x.

Between x1 and x0, the lights are not working, so the illumination that they provide is zero.

Between x0 and x1 the lights are turned on, so the illumination is 1.

Another example can be the accurate description of the velocity of a car as a function of time.

For some pieces, the car will be stopped (maybe in a red light)

For some pieces, the car will be moving slow (maybe there is a lot of traffic)

For some pieces, the car will be moving fast or accelerating (in an empty street).

So we can define this motion as a piecewise function that obviously will depend on how the car moves.

A local little league has a total of 60 players, of whom 20% are left-handed. How many left-handed players are there?

Answers

Answer:

There are 12 left-handed players in the league

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of the percentage of a given number, change the percentage at first to decimal by divide it by 100, then multiply the decimal by the number.Ex: 5% of 50 ⇒ 5% = [tex]\frac{5}{100}[/tex] = 0.05 ⇒ 5% × 50 = 0.05 × 50 = 2.5

Let us solve the problem

∵ A local little league has a total of 60 players

∵ 20% of them are left-handed

Find 20% of 60

∴ The number of left-handed players = 20% × 60

→ Change 20% to a decimal

∵ 20% = [tex]\frac{20}{100}[/tex] = 0.20

∴ The number of left-handed players = 0.20 × 60

∴ The number of left-handed players = 12

There are 12 left-handed players in the league

Answers

Answer:

From the information given, you can write the following system of equations:

x+y+z=16 (1)

5x+4.5y+5.5z=82 (2)

z=x+y (3)

You can replace (3) in (1) and (2):

x+y+x+y=16

2x+2y=16 (4)

5x+4.5y+5.5(x+y)=82

5x+4.5y+5.5x+5.5y=82

10.5x+10y=82 (5)

Now, you have the following equations:

2x+2y=16 (4)

10.5x+10y=82 (5)

You can isolate x in (4):

2x=16-2y

x=8-y (6)

Then, you have to replace (6) in (5):

10.5(8-y)+10y=82

84-10.5y+10y=82

84-82=10.5y-10y

2=0.5y

y=2/0.5

y=4

Now, you can replace the value of y in (6) to find x:

x=8-4

x=4

Finally, you can replace the vaue of x and y in (3) to find z:

z=4+4

z=8

The terminal side of angle θ intersects the unit circle in the first quadrant at (925,y). What are the exact values of sinθ and cosθ?

Answers

Correct question is;

The terminal side of angle θ intersects the unit circle in the first quadrant at (9/25,y). What are the exact values of sinθ and cosθ?

Answer:

sinθ = (√544)/25) and cosθ = 9/25

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that (9/25,y) lies on the unit circle. Thus, from general representation of equation of a circle, we can write that;

(9/25)² + y² = 1²

y² = 1 - (9/25)²

y² = (625 - 81)/25²

y² = 544/25²

y = ±(√544)/25

We are told the point is in the first quadrant and so we will choose the positive value of y = (√544)/25.

Therefore, the terminal side of the angle θ intersects the unit circle at [9/25, (√544)/25)]

In unit circle geometry, cosθ = x, while sinθ = y.

Thus; sinθ = (√544)/25) and cosθ = 9/25

The exact value of [tex]sin\theta[/tex] and [tex]cos\theta[/tex] is  [tex]cos\theta = \frac{9}{25} , sin\theta = \frac{\sqrt{544} }{25}[/tex] and this can be determined by forming the equation of circle.

Given :

The terminal side of angle [tex]\theta[/tex] intersect at unit circle ([tex]\frac{9}{25}, y[/tex]).

From general representation of equation of circle , we can write

[tex]x^{2} + y^{2} = a^{2}\\[/tex]

[tex](\frac{9^{2} }{25^{2} })[/tex] + [tex]y^{2} = 1^{2}[/tex]

[tex]y^{2} = 1 - \frac{81}{625}[/tex]

[tex]y^{2} = \frac{625-81}{625}[/tex]

[tex]y^{2}=\frac{544}{625}[/tex]

Taking square root both sides

[tex]y= \frac{\sqrt{544} }{\sqrt{625} }[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{\sqrt{544} }{25}[/tex]

We are taking only because point  lies in first quadrant.

The terminal side of angel [tex]\theta[/tex] unit circle in first quadrant at [tex](\frac{9}{25} , \frac{\sqrt{544} }{25})[/tex]

In unit circle

[tex]x = cos\theta , y = sin\theta[/tex]

[tex]\rm cos\theta = \frac{9}{25} , sin\theta = \frac{\sqrt{544} }{25}[/tex].

Ronald has a 10% solution of the fertilizer Super Grow. How much pure Super Grow should he add to the mixture to get 36 oz of a 12.5% concentration?

Answers

Answer:

1 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

% solution of super grow fertilizer = 10%

To obtain mixture of 36oz of a 12.5% concentration

Let oz of pure supergrowth to be added = s

(Initial % * (36 - s) + s) / 36 = target concentration

(10% * (36 - s) + s) / 36 = 12.5%

(0.1(36 - s) + s) / 36 = 0.125

Cross multiply:

0.1(36 - s) + s =. 0.125 * 36

3.6 - 0.1s + s = 4.5

3.6 + 0.9s = 4.5

0.9s = 4.5 - 3.6

0.9s = 0.9

s =. 0.9/0.9

s = 1

Hence, 1 oz of pure supergrowth should be added to the 10% solution to get 36 oz of a 12.5% concentration.

Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The p-value is  [tex]p-value = 0.0039854[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The sample size is  n = 1100

   The population proportion is  p = 0.50

  The sample proportion is  [tex]\^ p = 0.54[/tex]

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : p = 0.50[/tex]

The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : p > 0.50[/tex]

 Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

     [tex]z = \frac{\^ p - p }{ \sqrt{\frac{ p(1 - p)}{n} } }[/tex]

=>   [tex]z = \frac{ 0.54 - 0.54 }{ \sqrt{\frac{ 0.50 (1 - 0.50)}{1100} } }[/tex]

=>  [tex]z = 2.6533[/tex]

Generally from the z-table the probability of 2.6533 for a right tailed test is  

         [tex]p-value = 0.0039854[/tex]

Charlene and Gary want to make confetti. In order to get the right balance of ingredients for their tastes they bought 3 pounds of paper hearts at $2.46 per pound, 5 pounds of sparkling stars for $3.05 per pound, and 3 pounds of shiny coils for $2.33 per pound. Determine the cost per pound of the coffeti.

Answers

Answer:

0.712 cents per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the exact amount of each ingredient as well as the price for that amount then we simply need to calculate how much each pound of the confetti actually costs. We do this by adding together all of the pound of all of the ingredients and then adding together all of the costs. Lastly, we divide the cost by the total amount of pounds to find the cost per pound of the confetti like so...

3lbs. + 5lbs. + 3lbs. = 11 lbs.

$2.46 + $3.05 + $2.33 = $7.84

$7.84 / 11 lbs. = 0.712 cents per pound

Therefore, the cost per pound of the confetti is 0.712 cents per pound
